History

The mall opened in 1974 with original anchors including Sears and Kaufmann's. [3] The Kaufmann's store was the first in the chain to be located in a shopping mall. Goodman Company, a real estate company owned by Murray H. Goodman, built the mall. A 1975 expansion added 25 more stores and a third department store, Ashtabula, Ohio-based Carlisle's. [4] An original tenant, Zales Jewelers, won a design competition in that chain upon opening. [1]

In 2000, the mall was slightly renovated, while also remodeling the Sears and Kaufmann's stores. [5] Walmart opened at the mall in 2002. [6] Sears closed in 2016, followed by Macy's, which acquired the Kaufmann's chain, in 2017. [7]

The Kohan Retail Investment Group purchased Fort Steuben Mall for $10.75 million in December 2018. [8] They would sell it in 2022 to Brookwood Capital Partners. [9]

In early 2022, Brookwood Capital Partners acquired the shopping mall from the previous owners. [10] Despite attracting new businesses to the mall, Brookwood Capital auctioned it off after only one month. [11]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rolling Acres Mall</span> Demolished mall in Akron, Ohio, United States

Rolling Acres Mall was a shopping mall located in the Rolling Acres area of Akron, Ohio, United States. Built in 1975, it originally included approximately 21 stores, with Sears as the main anchor store. Later expansions added several more stores including anchor stores JCPenney, Montgomery Ward, and O'Neil's, along with a movie theater and food court. Montgomery Ward was converted to Higbee's in 1986, and then to Dillard's in 1992, while O'Neil's became May Company Ohio, Kaufmann's, and then finally Macy's. The fifth anchor store was Target, added in 1995. At its peak, the mall had over 150 stores. It underwent a sharp decline in tenancy throughout the 1990s and into the first decade of the 21st century, resulting in the relocation of Target and closure of Dillard's. Macy's and the mall itself both shuttered in 2008, although Sears remained operational until 2011, and JCPenney as an outlet store until 2013. Rolling Acres Mall was publicized after its closure as an example of a dead mall, and non-retail ventures operated out of the former locations of Target, Sears, and Dillard's. The mall was finally demolished in stages between 2017 and 2019, with Amazon building a distribution facility on the former site soon after.

Seaview Square Mall was a shopping mall located in Ocean Township, in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States.

The 856,000-square-foot (79,500 m2) mall, located at the intersection of Route 35 and Route 66, was originally constructed in 1977 as an indoor mall. It faced stiff competition from the more upscale Monmouth Mall, located five miles (8 km) further north on Route 35 in Eatontown. One of its four anchors never opened, and several smaller stores, and Stern's and Steinbach, two of its anchors, were victims of the then-indoor mall's then-state of decline. The mall was later redeveloped into a shopping center with Target, Costco, Burlington, Home Sense, Siera Trading, Marshalls, Home Goods, Petsmart, Starbucks, and others.
